I believe the new K-1 Grand Prix champion who dethrowned Bownjowsky is a Kyukushinkai BB under Jon Bluming!!!!

In MMA, this would be clinch or takedown time. So KK strategy wouldn't work, but some of the striking, and certainly the conditioning, would be useful.
--Shogun-- said:personally i do bjj and muay thai.. and i dont know anything about karate. but i hear that kyokushin is more modern than normal karate and they actually sparr full contact etc. And on gsp's website it says he still considers himself a kyokushin fighter. Is it actually effective in mma what so ever... and does gsp actually use it in the octogan?
